| :you could have each character store the ip address that it last used, and when the address changes you have to go through an email re-register process. so if your ip changes a lot (to get around the ip limit) you would have to be constantly re-registering, which would be a pain for anyone who uses proxies, without totally blocking them.
| |
| | |
| This will inconvenience dial up users (and some people with ISPs with annoyingly configured DHCP servers) since their IP changes every time they connect.
| |
| | |
| But as for blocking proxies, [http://dronebl.org/ DroneBL] and [http://efnetrbl.org/ EFnet's blacklist] will, used together, detect most open proxies -- with two rather simple DNS lookups per login.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| If he's just spoofing his IP then a reverse-DNS lookup should shut him down. Kevan would have to implement that from the web server. I've only ever heard of reverse-DNS lookups in relation to email spam filters, but there's gotta be a way to do it from a web page.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| Well... I really doubt that Finis is using only open proxies and TOR. There are some serious issues, and I'm pretty sure that using public proxies to zerg with ~50 alts is impossible... why?
| |
| | |
| Short example: 1) Let's take one of most known open proxy list - http://proxy4free.com/page1.html 2) Pick up a proxy, open firefox settings and configure it to use that proxy 3) Try to refresh google.com ... connection refused... reset while loading... ? pick a different proxy and try again 4) Try again and again and again... on average you should find a working proxy after checking ~5. 5) Ok... now refresh... hmm - yup - 20 second long lag... you have to get used. 6) Now try to instakill someone by opening 40 tabs with attack links (using various GM scripts or bookmarks) 7) See some 'connection refused' messages...
| |
| | |
| Ok... now try with TOR - except that you'll have a bigger lag, and your connection will go down less often it will be pretty similar. What I'm trying to say - using public proxies and open anonymity networks like tor is too unreliable to play 50 alts. We have to remember that Finis wins almost every real time combat - it would be impossible with proxies... So... how?
| |
| | |
| I can see 3 possibilities: 1) commercial, anonymity software/proxies - I seriously doubt - they're really expensive... 2) many IP addresses from different ISPs/networks - also not believable unless he's a really wealthy person... 3) ssh tunnels - it's a cheap and reliable solution - I'll say something more about it:
| |
| | |
| To use a ssh tunnel you need to have a shell account - very often you can get it for free in your school/work/university if you speak with your network admin. If you have friends working in IT you may try to ask them. Also - many commercial shell accounts are quite cheap (often 5$ - 20$ per year), if you spend some time looking you'll find non-commercial free shell services.
| |
| | |
| How does it work? Simply - when you have an account you log in via an ssh client, open a tunnel, and configure your browser to use this tunnel like a proxy. It's technically not a proxy, so all proxy-related caching and delay issues don't appear here - in most cases it will slow down our connection by about 0.5 - 1 second without any other noticeable effects.
| |
| | |
| Benefits of such solution: 1) Your connection looks like it was established from the SSH server, and not from your computer. There is no way to tell if someone is using a tunnel. 2) As said before - it's really cheap (or free) and reliable. 3) Opening SSH connections takes few seconds, if you open many connections before, and use a [censored] firefox extension switching requires 2 clicks with your mouse.
| |
| | |
| Why do I think that finis is using it: We have few IPs used by him to post on various forums. 3 of them are from different networks in Romania/Bucharest - it suggest using accounts located in his work(s) or provided by his friends (well... the only problem is that I doubt that somebody spending 8 hours per day playing UD may have friends).
| |
| | |
| How to ban such tunnels... as far as I know there is no way...
| |
| | |
| I'm not saying that he's not using free HTTP proxies for some of his zergs - we noticed that when http://proxy4free.com/ service wasn't available some of his zergs were much less active. | |
| | |
| So... we definitely should think about banning proxies, even if it's not going to stop finis. Using several blacklist will be helpful, but won't block many proxies appearing for 1-2 days (which aren't intended to be public proxies, and their availability is just a result of a misconfiguration). However - we can ban all public proxies - using a known method of scanning every new connecting host on common proxy ports (80, 3128 and 8080) and checking proxy service availability (we don't wanna ban people who just have a HTTP server running in their network = 90% of internet users).
| |
| | |
| Checking reverse-DNS won't help - it's used by mail servers to verify hostnames of other mail servers in order to avoid relying mail from infected-spam-PCs (all important internet servers have reverse-DNS entries configured, while almost all private PCs (even with public IPs) don't) - it simply allows to tell if it's a well known and configured mail server, or just a PC which was infected by a spam mallware and just pretends to be a mail server.

| == Talk page==
| |
| Couple of things...
| |
| 1. I have NO problem with you responding on my talk page to another posters comments... If its applicable open up...
| |
| 2, Just because I disagree with you doesn't necessarily mean I don't like you. I have some pretty strong beliefs about certain things on the wiki... You beleive differently in regards to some aspects and I respect that. Anyone who can maintain a modecrum of decorum while maintaining their own stances and beliefs is a-ok in my book. I actually do like a good deal of what you have done on the wiki and really wish you had pursued that Mod bid.
| |
| 3. I would like to see some civility guidelines established but considering the current rules of voting and the propensity of those who actually vote to be opposed to such issues, the Wiki is currently a "Tyranny of the Masses" and is not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

| :What are you talking about??? 11 Spam/Dupe votes (Technically 10 Spam or Spam/dupes plus 1 plain Dupe), 2 Keep, 3 Kill. That's SPAM. Rules are at least 7 Spam votes and 2/3 of votes being spam. And, the DUPE status was sorta debatable, so I erred on the side of non-dupe. Furthermore, I spaminated the Suggestion well after the 6 hour limit... All these rules that you say I don't know I pulled from ''memory''... And about an hour later, Karek came and confirmed it as Spam, moving and protecting the page.

| ==Radio Enlightenment==
| |
| [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Radio&diff=273153&oldid=273146 In 2006, Citizen M claimed the frequency for Enlightened Broadcast (later Enlightenment Radio)]<br>

| |
| [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Radio&diff=819830&oldid=818934 For whatever reason, in 2007, Ekashp changes it to Those Dudes' radio. He gives no notice of it, nor any mention. He just does it. The edits directly before it still show it as Enlightened Broadcast.]
| |
| | |
| And, I might add, I mentioned that Enlightenment Radio is now a ''Pirate'' Radio Broadcast. We no longer lay any claim to 27.98, because nobody listens to it. We now broadcast on relevant local channels (relevant meaning: our victims will hear it), and we have been doing so since at least October 2007, when we broadcast a poem to Hildebrand Mall for the Samhain Slaughter.

About that, though your response was a bit aggressive in tone, I just want to clear things up in saying that the spam/vandalism that you've scolded me for has been completely unintentional.

As for the duping issue- all it takes is he either pulls the suggestion and it gets re-submitted, or it goes to undecided, or some brave sole has the nads to take the dupe brigade to arbitration when the suggestion is notably different, as the guidelines specifically say not to make dupe votes in that case.<br>And yeah, I do believe he developed a lot of those ideas. I remember voting on them.<br>And yea, I do understand your frustrations, WanYao, and can even understand why John might be a focus / trigger for them. But really, I think you sorta make yourself look bad by such unmerited attacks. {{User:Swiers/Sig}} 04:54, 26 August 2008 (BST)

| :::::The thing is, being calm, nice, reasonable doesn't get you anywhere. I've tried that... Sure, the other calm, nice, mature and resonable people will deal with you in like fashion... But for every one of those, you're going to 2 or 3 fucking twat trolls and spammers... Who completely drown out the former... So you're left with a couple of choices after that: you don't bother anymore, you walk away... or you fight fire with fire and you escalate... Sadly, ''all three'' choices suck, and fail.

| :::::Frankly, I think the entire Suggestions system is a completely and utterly broken disaster... It's a troll's playground, a complete free for all. I think it really ought to just be shut right down, scrapped... Actually, I've come to pretty much the same conclusion regarding the entire wiki: it's utterly, completely fucking broken, and a free-for all troll's playground... and there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing...

| | |
| :::::So, yeah... I'm frustrated... Does it show??? ;) But seriously, I believe the wiki is simply broken. Period. It's a joke -- the suggestions thing just happens to be a flashpoint for the disaster, is all... And I respect anyone who actually is trying to slog it through, and take "the high road" -- as you two, swiers and karek, both attempt do... But I don't have the patience for it, I really don't... And, the sad thing is I know I'm not alone. Look at how many ''good users'' (including sysops) have walked away... and how many more never get involved in the first place... Serial trolling is killing the wiki; and zerging is killing the ''game'' itself... For the moment, I ''do'' have the patience to slog through the latter mess, because the game is still fun, and the community is worthwhile... but for how long? I seriously wonder how many more days Urban Dead has left, if something isn't done to fix the wiki and the zerging issue...... Hmph. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 11:59, 26 August 2008 (BST)

| :::::::Does it really matter if suggestions is a broken free for all trolls playground? Or the wiki for that matter? Suggestions is junk, maybe it gives kevan ideas for what to implement, maybe it doesn't. Either way changing it wouldn't do jack, it has no real effect on the game and thus is barely worth the time people invest in it now, let alone more than that. As for the wiki, it gets the job done informing your average player about [[ALiM|what to do]] and [[Suburb Nicknames|where to go]]. imhop that's not a bad effort.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 12:28, 26 August 2008 (BST)

| ::::::::I don't like how you say that the wiki is a trolls playground, when lets be honest, you spend a large amount of your edits trolling suggestion pages. The other thing that caught me off guard was how you said that being reasonable doesn't get you anywhere. Excuse me but....what do you gain from being shit to everyone who either A) Posts a suggestion and is not in a position of power and b) Posts some POV on a suburb page? It just makes the newbs not want to edit anymore. Most of them don't know what POV is, but you flame them anyway. I know, I was one of them, and you made me want to give up wiki-ing altogether. If you want to complain about the trolls on this wiki, then you need to not be one yourself, not flame people (which starts troll wars, which is a waste of time) and most fucking importantly, be a good user. I don't get your logic in saying the wiki is shit, so you will be shit aswell, because it's easier that way. It's a pathetic attitude.--{{User:Sexylegsread/sig}} 12:57, 26 August 2008 (BST)

| ::::::::Also, don't take it as a complete flame, while it is sort of that, it is mostly out of both frustration towards your agenda on this wiki, and because you really, really give me the shits when you comment on suggestions.--{{User:Sexylegsread/sig}} 13:00, 26 August 2008 (BST)

| ::::::::::Oh come on, as if... Yeah, I can be a dick. I'm the first one to admit that. However there is a '''huge''' difference between almost all of my posts -- even the dickish ones -- and the kind of bullshit, asshole trolling that I am talking about. You can tell the difference. Or you really ''should'' be able to tell the difference... and if you can't... well... I don't know what to say... And, I'm sorry if you're butthurt because I flamed out on you several months ago over NPOV shit... But you yourself weren't all that upstanding in your comportment in all that... And, frankly, aren't to this day... Meanwhile, outside of the Suggestions page and dealing with a certain degree of snideness towards a particular group's representatives who are well known ASSHOLES... I think I've actually been pretty decent in dealing with NPOV stuff. Not always Dr. Phil meets Oprah in Deanna Troy's chambers for tea, but not the SA wannabe you seem to trying to paint me as .. So, not only are you a ''very, very dark pot'' calling a kettle black, you're also not even on base... Yeah... But thanks for the input, have a nice day. Ciao. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 16:25, 26 August 2008 (BST)

| ::::::::::And... re: the suggestions page... Get your facts straight. Go read my contributions. No, go actually FUCKING READ THEM. And go see the many times that I am very constructive... And then look at when I am jerk, and why? I am a jerk when someone posts completely broken garbage... What, am I supposed to be all ''nice'' and Oprah to people who don't even do their basic homework? No. Get a grip. Especially considering that you and your buddies are some of the biggest spam-trolls on that page. Give me a break. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 16:34, 26 August 2008 (BST)

| Mr. Read was asked not to post here not because I felt anything that was said above was particularly bad or out of line. Wrong? Misguided? Maybe... No. Rather, I went to the Talk:Suggestions page to poke around... And what did I see? A whole SLEW of "Wan's an asshole" and "Wan's a troll" spam from Mr. Read. Far more than I'd remembered, or expected. I was not impressed... So I made the decision, based on that, that I don't want to talk to him or deal with that. That's the reasoning... And, yeah, I read the post on Sweir's Talk page... And, without abdicating my responsibility for my own actions... The atmosphere of much of this wiki really isn't very conducive for, or fostering to (for me anyway), things constructive... That's really about it, I think that says a enough... --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 07:37, 27 August 2008 (BST)
